Your first session is a space to share your story at your own pace. We’ll explore what brings you in and begin building a plan that aligns with your goals. The length of therapy varies by individual. Some people find clarity in just a few sessions, while others continue for ongoing support. We’ll collaborate on what’s right for you!
